Audi S8: Image leaked, is this it?

An image of the supposed Audi S8 has been leaked. Is this the real thing? If so, it looks mighty impressive!

As you can see, Audi is keeping in some way the same line on S models – aluminum mirrors, a big chrome front grill and 20” alloy wheels from R8.

Other rumors are saying that S8 is expected to use the 5.0 litre FSI biturbo V10 engine, which currently powers the Audi RS6 (C6) with 427 kilowatts (581 PS; 573 bhp), and it has been reported that the new S8’s engine could be tuned up to 600 hp (447 kW).

However we expect more then 500 bhp. The W12 early announced produces 500bhp -a power that comes from a new W12 6.3Liter engine.
